Art Advanced Placement (AP)
2870 AP Art History
Students critically examine architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within their historical and cultural contexts. In covering the art of several centuries, students learn to identify different styles, techniques, and influences and to formulate and articulate their reactions to various kinds of artwork.
2874 AP Studio Art: Drawing
AP Studio Art-Drawing is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. The course is not based on a written examination; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. This course requires the student to show a fundamental competence and range of understanding in visual concerns (and methods). The student is to demonstrate a depth of investigation and process of discovery through the concentration section (12 slides; some may be details). In the breadth section (12 works; one slide of each is submitted), the student is asked to demonstrate a serious grounding in visual principles and material techniques. The quality section (five actual drawings; maximum size is 18" x 24") permits the student to select the works that best exhibit a synthesis of form, technique, and content.
